Lyrics

Until you’re done with all your crying
This liquid umbrella is your eye
You carry the sadness through each doorstep
And in my due process mark your time
and my due process marks your time
Marking the hallways of your time
Before I speak I ration out my breath
otherwise I’d be ripped to shreds
Why be on when I’d rather be off?
I need to protect myself
On the banks of their zeitgeist
I’ve never wanted that have I?
That wicked thought has crossed my mind
but the execution’s dry
If I break it down for no one but you
Would my misfortune have an equal right to
bury human sorrow under your wing
All my pain in just a moment you see
With a coin under your tongue
We’re living our stolen lives
The needful chaos of our time
Desperation is seeping through
Survival has work to do
If we break it down for no one but you
(each tear has a story to tell)
Would our misfortune have an equal right to
(rewrite the absurd we’re in)
bury human sorrow under your wing
(a web of the pain we wear)
All this pain in just a moment you see
With a coin under your tongue
And our due process marks your time
Marking the hallways of your time
